The Functions of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis: a Scientific Article *do not copy or it will count as plagiarism* Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is just as complicated as it sounds! It's an insect-pathogenic fungal parasite that infects and manipulates ants, and it's also known as zombie ant fungus. Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is found in tropical forests and in many moist places where it can thrive safely. It is one of the many species of Cordyceps, which is a genus full of manipulating fungi, which each infects a different insect. In this case, ants are the victim. To summarize the process, active Ophiocordyceps unilateralis spores infect ants and force the ants to climb onto the stem of a leaf and bite it with an extreme force so that it wouldn't fall off. Then, the ant dies and a stroma - the main fungus stem - erupts from the back of the ant's head and releases more spores. Although not confirmed, many researchers (like Charissa de Bekker) say that the mind control is ...
Introduction The Canadian Confederation took place in 1867. Before the confederation, there were six main factors that gradually resulted in confederation. In this presentation, we will be talking about the railway issue, changes in British attitudes, American invasion, political deadlock, and cancellation of the Reciprocity Treaty. We hope you enjoy it! Railway Issue Two people involved with this factor include George-Etienne Cartier from Canada East and Alexander Galt. They had ties with railway companies but were disappointed to see that the Grand Trunk Railway (which linked Toronto and Montréal) was not doing well financially, due to the lack of passengers and freight traffic within the Canadas. Additionally, the Baring Brothers thought of the idea that Confederation would solve the issue and food producers (in the Maritimes) and manufacturers (in the Canadas) believed that the trade that the railways would bring would benefit them. Before Confederation, the main s...
LCM Passion4studying.blogspot.com In this article, we will be discussing what LCMs are and what the ladder method is. LCM In order to know how to add and subtract fractions, we need to know what LCM means. LCM stands for "least common multiple", and it's the smallest multiple two numbers share. For example, the LCM of 12 and 24 is 24, since 24 is a multiple of both numbers, and it's the smallest out of all the common multiples both numbers share, such as 48 and 72. Now, let's discuss the ladder method, which is used to find LCM The ladder To use the ladder method, we must first make an L shape and put our numbers in the L (make sure there's space between them), like this: Then, we must put a factor of both of these numbers on the left of the L, as shown below: Next, we will divide our numbers by the factor they both share, and put the result below the L., like so: And then we continue on and on until we can't divide any further, like above. When we can...
